Editor's Foreword

I'll always be an advocate of independent publishing because it allows us freedom of movement and expression; it brings us stories mainstream fiction thinks we don't want or need, whether in content or format, and in many ways, I believe the best independent fiction is alternative and unique; it's independent for a reason - it explores the taboo, the dark, the oppressed, and the uncomfortable in any and all genres, thus stretching our boundaries and opening our minds. Today, we have three new features for you: a visionary story about a spiritual/occult journey; a gay contemporary romance about loss and hope; and a brand new collection of short fantasy stories to tingle your senses - perfect for that train journey, or before bed when you want to dip in and out of another world. As always, we hope you find something you enjoy.

New Releases

A magician undertakes a dangerous quest to become a psychopomp, a guide of the dead, and afterwards to find his true love who has gone hitchhiking without him. During his trance he encounters angels, gods, djinn and troubled souls, and joins a rescue circle of Spiritualists.

This is a re-release of a previous released e-book. It has been re-edited with additional new material and a new cover.

Walt Thompson had started training for the Olympics when he was just in grade school. Skiing was like second nature to him. It was all he had ever dreamed of. A great coach and a fabulous sponsor and he was on his way.

Until a freak accident on the slopes at the winter try outs, left him with a broken leg and a very dark future. On top of all that, the man he thought he was in love with walked out. Leaving him to deal with the pain of losing his dream and going on with his life. Years later, he found himself working as the ski instructor at his families lodge. This was not the dream he had wanted.

Then one day a handsome man literally knocked him off his feet. Curt Woodridge was an entertainer. He was singing in the lounge at his families lodge. Could this be the beginning of a new dream for Walt or just another crashing blow to his already fractured spirit?
